Sports Concentration Program at Gerald McShane

Sports Concentration Program at Gerald McShane
Montreal - Tuesday, September 9, 2025

Gerald McShane is fortunate to have excellent sports facilities both on campus and nearby.
Our own gymnasium, outdoor soccer turf, mirrored dance room, and a wide range of sports equipment are available every day for student-athletes. Beyond that, we take full advantage of Montreal’s rich sporting resources.

  • Hockey players can hit the ice at the Rolland Arena.
  • Soccer players do not have to go far—they can train and compete on our outdoor turf field, located right in the schoolyard.
  • Dancers can rehearse and refine their skills in our on-site dance room, fully equipped with wall mirrors for optimal training and technique.

These facilities enable students to practice their sport or discipline in professional settings without sacrificing time in the classroom.

Supporting Academic and Athletic Excellence
Gerald McShane is proud to be the only EMSB elementary school offering a Sports Concentration Program, designed to help children grow into well-rounded students and athletes. We want them to see that school and sports do not have to
compete with each other—when balanced properly, they can work together to help students succeed in all areas of life.

At Gerald McShane, we nurture not only young athletes but also responsible, motivated, and confident learners.
